And those were all comprised of 3 compression rings with one oil control
ring to boot(never messed with two oil rings sperated like this). If Chris's
idea of the lower being there as a support ring is true I would guess
the "expander" ring is really an absorber ring instead to take the skirt
thrust(personally I'd like to cut the lower .500" off the piston, fit it
at .003" and go on with what I know - the customer's not going to go for
that though).
Also would like a rational thought on ring end gaps of the oil rings once my
placement is decided on.
Thanks to everyone willing to throw their thoughts out(hope my closing in my
other reply didn't come across wrong Atto). I like new shit and learning, I
just like it when it's mine to learn on and I can pull it apart in a month
to see how it's doing,
Todd
